THE ROYAL ASSENT

Mr. Speaker:: I have the honour to inform the house that I have received the following communication:
Ottawa, September 15, 1950
Sir:
I have the honour to inform you that the Honourable Robert Taschereau, judge of the Supreme Court of Canada, acting as Deputy of His Excellency the Governor General, will proceed to the Senate chamber on Friday, the 15th September, at eleven a.m. for the purpose of giving the royal assent to certain bills.
I have the honour to be, sir.
Your obedient servant,
J. F. Delaute,
Assistant Secretary to the Governor General



DOMINION-PROVINCIAL CONFERENCE INQUIRY AS TO PROBABLE DATE OF AUTUMN MEETING

[Stage Direction]
On the orders of the day:
Mr. M. J. Coldwell (Roselown-Biggar):: Mr. Speaker, I have a question which I had intended to direct to the Prime Minister (Mr. St. Laurent), but in his absence perhaps I might direct it to the government. Early this year the Prime Minister announced that a dominion-provincial conference would be held "in the fall, either during September or October". I understand that some provinces wish to deal with certain matters of great importance both to the dominion and to themselves, including the taxation agreements, the recommendations of the parliamentary committee on social security, and such other matters of importance as the provinces or the dominion might desire to discuss. There is great anxiety also among many municipalities with regard to pressing economic and social problems which would be involved in these discussions. Can the government inform the house whether the conference is to be called, and approximately when it will assemble?


Right Hon. C. D. Howe (Minister of Trade and Commerce):: Mr. Speaker, it is the intention of the government that the conference will be called this autumn. No date has been fixed. I presume that on account of the
session of parliament and the conference on constitutional matters that will meet later this month, the holding of the conference referred to by the hon. member will be somewhat delayed, but I think I can assure my hon. friend that it will be held before Christmas of this year.



NATIONAL DEFENCE


[Stage Direction]
On the orders of the day:
Hon. Brooke Claxton (Minister of National Defence):: Mr. Speaker, on September 12 the hon. member for Nanaimo (Mr. Pearkes) asked the following question:
Are residents of Canada who are neither Canadian citizens nor British subjects entitled to enlist in the reserve army?
The answer is no.



MEETING IN PRAGUE


[Stage Direction]
On the orders of the day:
Mr. Auguste Maltais (Charlevoix):: Mr. Speaker, I should like to direct a question to the Acting Secretary of State for External Affairs. It follows a question I asked a few days ago with respect to the presence in Russia of certain young Canadians. There is a press dispatch this morning stating that six young Canadians, including Guy Caron of Montreal, addressed a gathering which was held in Prague from August 14 to August 24 for the purpose of trying to demonstrate that Canada is carrying on a policy leading to war and is led by a fascist government. I should like to ask whether the government has considered this matter.


Brooke Claxton: I must say it was
rather hard to hear the hon. member. I shall be glad to look into the matter and give him an answer privately.



THE ROYAL ASSENT

[Stage Direction]
A message was delivered by Major C. R. Lamoureux, Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, as follows:
Mr. Speaker, the Honourable the Deputy of His Excellency the Governor General desires the immediate attendance of this honourable house in the chamber of the honourable the Senate.
[Stage Direction]
The late Field Marshal Smuts
Accordingly the house went up to the Senate chamber.
And being returned:
Mr. Speaker informed the house that the Deputy Governor General had been pleased to give, in His Majesty's name, the royal assent to the following bills:
An act to make temporary provision for the regulation of consumer credit.
An act respecting materials and services essential for the purposes of defence and national security.
An act to amend the Income Tax Act.
An act respecting payment of sessional allowances and transportation expenses to members of the Senate and the House of Commons.
An act to amend the Excise Act, 1934.
An act to amend the Excise Tax Act.
An act to amend the Customs Tariff.
An act for granting His Majesty aid for national defence and security.

Right Hon. L. S. St. Laurent (Prime Minister):: Perhaps, Mr. Speaker, I might be permitted to refer to the fact that the validity and vigour of our parliamentary institutions is being made evident in this city today in the memorial service that is being held for the late Field Marshal Jan Christiaan Smuts. I believe his great career is a symbol of the vigour of the political institutions derived from those British roots, and proof that they are suited not only to one nation but to men of good will all over the world. This gives some reason for the hope that ultimately similar systems will prevail in the world, allowing peoples everywhere to live, under benign Providence, the kind of lives we all hope to provide for those who will come after us.


Mr. George A. Drew (Leader of the Opposition):: Mr. Speaker, in joining with the Prime Minister (Mr. St. Laurent) in paying respect to the memory of one of the truly great of our time, I should like also to emphasize the fact, which has been referred to by the Prime Minister, that in his life Jan Christiaan Smuts demonstrated the very thing that all of us hope may be possible in the years ahead. I doubt if there is a more dramatic story in the whole history of free men than the record of a one-time enemy who engaged our own forces in the field of battle becoming the strongest advocate of the very system which he had sought to destroy by force of arms. It was probably a unique experience for men in similar positions for both Field Marshal Smuts and Mr. Churchill to sit down at the council table together during the last war as prime ministers of two of the partner nations within this fellowship 
of ours, and recall the time when Mr. Churchill has been interrogated as a prisoner of war by Field Marshal Smuts, then a junior officer in the Boer army. He fought gallantly with the Boers for the things in which he believed. He accepted the situation which resulted after that war, and from then on not only became one of the great advocates of our parliamentary system, but also gave leadership, perhaps unequalled, in the formation of those two great international bodies which have sought to play their part in preserving peace.
I believe it is a matter of record that the name "League of Nations" was in fact suggested by Field Marshal Smuts. Furthermore, he had some thought of the dangers inherent in such an organization when he went further and suggested at one time that it might be called the "League of Free Nations." In that very suggestion there perhaps may be a thought worthy of consideration today. Again, because of his own vast experience and personal recollections of the great hopes and the tragic failures of the league, he was one whose views were regarded most highly at San Francisco, in 1945, because, out of the hope and then the discouragement, along with his great experience, he was in a position to warn of the weaknesses of the earlier covenant.
Field Marshal Smuts was a great leader in his own country, and a leader amongst men. No man has contributed more to the strength of the commonwealth of which we are a partner. I think all of us today will not only wish to join in expressing the sympathy that is being extended to his family, but will hope that in South Africa and throughout the rest of the world his life, and the friendship which grew out of strife, may be an example to all mankind.



BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE


[Stage Direction]
Right. Hon. L. S. St. Laurent (Prime Minister): Mr. Speaker, I move that this house do now adjourn until three o'clock p.m. on February 14, 1951, subject to parliament being called to meet earlier if Your Honour should come to the conclusion that the public interest requires it.
Knowing as we do, sir, that you have some plans for the immediate future, I think all members of the house would wish me to say on their behalf that they tender to you their very best wishes for a happy and fruitful voyage. I understand that next month you will attend, on our behalf, ceremonies in connec-﻿SEPTEMBER 15, 1950
tion with the opening of the new chamber of the British House of Commons, the mother of all parliaments.
George Alexander Drew: Mr. Speaker, on this occasion I wish to join with the Prime Minister (Mr. St. Laurent), and with the other members of the house, in extending to you our very best wishes for a pleasant and profitable visit to the mother of parliaments. Might I add that this will be an occasion of special significance for all of us, and for the whole free world at this time, in the fact that this formal opening of the reconstructed House of Commons is in some ways symbolic of the surviving strength of that freedom which we are seeking to preserve. Therefore we wish you well on your trip, and our thoughts will be with the gathering that takes place there as a symbol of the strength of a free parliament.


Major James William Coldwell: Mr. Speaker, I am sure that all of us join in the expression of good will, and hope that you will enjoy your trip across the seas. I have a vivid recollection of a former occasion on which I had the privilege of going with you, sir, to a commonwealth conference in Britain when you acted as chairman of the Canadian delegation. I know that you will bring added dignity to the proceedings, and I can assure you that we shall look forward to hearing your report.
We also concur in the statement of the leader of the opposition (Mr. Drew) that this
Business of the House occasion has significance not only to the commonwealth but to the whole world. We hope you will enjoy your trip, and that the parliament which you will honour by your presence will long remain the basic institution of our common freedoms.


Mr. Solon E. Low (Peace River):: Mr. Speaker, there are only two things left for me to say. One is, "we too", and the other is that we hope, sir, you will not be seasick.


Mr. Speaker:: I should like to thank the
Prime Minister (Mr. St. Laurent), the Leader of the Opposition (Mr. Drew), and the leaders of the other two groups for the very generous words which they have uttered, and for their expression of good will toward me which was accepted generally by all members of this house.
I can assure you I am looking forward to being present at the opening on Thursday, October 26, of the new House of Commons chamber in London. You will recall that the former chamber was destroyed by enemy action during the last war. It will be an historic occasion. When I am there I shall at all times remember that I am representing the members of the Canadian House of Commons, and I shall take great pride in being your representative.
Motion agreed to and the house adjourned at 11.45 o'clock a.m. until Wednesday, February 14, 1951, at three o'clock p.m., unless otherwise ordered pursuant to the provisions of the special order made Thursday, September 14, 1950.

Monday, January 29, 1951



PUBLICATION AND MAILING TO MEMBERS OF NOTICE OF MEETING THIS DAY

Mr. Speaker:: I have the honour to inform the house that under and by virtue of a resolution passed by the house on Thursday, September 14, 1950 (Votes and Proceedings, pages 71-72), dealing with the adjournment of the house, I caused to be published in the Canada Gazette of Saturday, January 6, 1951, a notice, calling the house to meet this day, which is as follows:
In pursuance of the order of the House of Commons passed on Thursday, September 14, 1950, I am satisfied, after consultation with the government, that the public interest requires that the House of Commons, which was adjourned on Friday, September 15, 1950, until Wednesday, February 14, 1951, should meet at an earlier time, and I hereby give notice that it shall meet on Monday, January 29, 1951, at three o'clock p.m. and transact its business as if it had been duly adjourned to that day.

Louis Stephen St-Laurent: Mr. Speaker, since the last session of parliament two of the members of this house have passed away. I refer, of course, to the hon. members for Brandon, Manitoba, and Queens, Prince Edward Island.

Tributes to Deceased Members
It was with deep regret that we all learned of the passing of Mr. J. E. Matthews, the oldest in point of years and one of the most esteemed members of this house. On account of ill health he had been unable to attend the special session last fall, but most of us had hoped that his recovery had been sufficiently complete to enable him to be back with us at this time.
While Mr. J. L. Douglas, the member for Queens, Prince Edward Island, was also getting on in years, his passing came as a distinct shock to his many friends, who I think were under the impression that he enjoyed rather good health.
Both Mr. Matthews and Mr. Douglas were Prince Edward Islanders, the former having been born at Albany on August 17, 1869, and the latter at Head of Hillsborough on November 29, 1881. Each received a public school education, which in the case of Mr. Matthews was followed by graduation from Prince of Wales college in Charlottetown and, in the case of Mr. Douglas, by attendance at the Charlottetown business college. Both entered the House of Commons in 1938 as a result of by-elections in their respective constituencies, and both were re-elected in the general elections of 1940, 1945 and 1949. You will remember that in the fall of 1949 Mr. Matthews was chosen to represent the Canadian government at the meeting of the international labour organization in Geneva.
I know I am safe in saying that both Mr. Matthews and Mr. Douglas had the respect and friendship of their colleagues of all parties in this house. There was never any doubt among us as to the high integrity of their motives or the sincerity of their statements. They made few formal speeches, but when they did speak they were listened to with deep interest and close attention. They were scrupulously faithful to their parliamentary duties, and even during busy sessions found time to keep in close touch with those whom they represented here.
Prior to their election to the House of Commons in 1938 both Mr. Matthews and Mr. Douglas had already made names for themselves in the business world. After teaching for some time Mr. Matthews spent eight years in the field of journalism. In 1902 he joined the staff of the North American Life Assurance Company in Charlottetown, and in 1911 was transferred to Brandon as branch manager for western Manitoba, which position he occupied until 1935. Prior to his removal to Brandon Mr. Matthews had served as an alderman on the Charlottetown city council. During his many years of residence in Brandon he was at different times president of the Life Underwriters Association of Canada, president of the Brandon board of trade and 
president of the Brandon Kiwanis club. He was also a member of the Canadian club, and an active member of the Brandon curling club.
Mr. Douglas had entered the service of the Prince Edward Island railway in 1901. After serving as an engineer for several years he retired from the railway and took up farming on the old homestead and on an adjoining farm at Head of Hillsborough. He later served as dominion fruit and vegetable inspector, and for some time prior to his entry into politics was in business at Charlottetown. In his later years his chief occupation, apart from his political duties, was that of a produce exporter.
During their many years of useful service Mr. Matthews and Mr. Douglas won widespread respect for their sincerity, steadfast purpose and uprightness of character. I am sure that in this chamber all the friends of our lamented colleagues would wish to be personally associated with me in this expression of our most sincere condolences to Mrs. Matthews and Mrs. Douglas and their families.


George Alexander Drew: Mr. Speaker, I wish to join with the Prime Minister (Mr. St. Laurent) in the tribute he has paid to two highly respected members of this house who enjoyed the friendship and the affectionate regard of those who knew them. Both, as has been said already, were from Prince Edward Island, and in that fact there is evidence of the continuing contribution made to the whole of Canada by a province which is proud of its history and its place in our country.
The last time I saw Mr. Matthews was during last summer in Brandon. It was typical of the friendship which exists among the members of this house that one of those who extended courtesies to me while I was there was Mr. Matthews. In his genial and kindly way he made it quite clear that, with him, service in the House of Commons could never interfere with personal friendship, no matter what differences of opinion there might be as to the way in which the political affairs of this country can best be conducted.
The same thing was true of Mr. Douglas. Mr. Douglas was always generous and friendly, not only to those of his own political party but to those of other political parties as well. It seemed to me that both these gentlemen displayed that measure of understanding friendship which, after all, is the basis of our freedom.
I wish to join with the Prime Minister and the other members of this house in extending sincere sympathy to Mrs. Matthews and Mrs. Douglas and to their families, and we all hope,

I am sure, they will derive a substantial measure of comfort from the knowledge that the members of this house will think of our departed colleagues with respect and affection.


Major James William Coldwell: Mr. Speaker, I think everything has been said that needs to be said about the two highly respected members who have passed, but we should like to associate ourselves with all the words of appreciation and the condolences that have been given. Both were amongst the friendliest members of the house. Mr. Matthews, aged and yet sprightly, was an example to all of us of what we might be if we lived very much as he lived. We recognized his friendliness everywhere we met him. Mr. Douglas was much the same kind of man. On the many occasions on which I sat on committees with him, I found he was one of the friendliest members with whom we were associated. To the relatives who are left to mourn, we extend our sympathy.


Solon Earl Low: Mr. Speaker, the members of the group which I represent wish to join with the Prime Minister (Mr. St. Laurent) and the other speakers in all that they have said by way of tribute to the two deceased members, the one having represented Brandon, and the other, Queens, Prince Edward Island. We found these two men always friendly and considerate. We found them to be gentlemen. I was not privileged to know either of them personally, but simply by association with them we learned to respect both. We feel, Mr. Speaker, that these two good men have left something by which they will be remembered for many years. We wish to extend to their widows and other relatives our sincere sympathy.


Mr. J. W. MacNaughl (Prince):: I should like to join with those who have already spoken in paying humble tribute to the memory of my colleague from Prince Edward Island, Mr. J. Lester Douglas. He was a man of infinite charm, extremely hospitable, and he derived much pleasure from his many acts of kindness and consideration. I well remember his good counsel to me when I first came to Ottawa. We shared the same office for three years, and I shall never forget his kindness to me during that time.
Lester Douglas was highly regarded by his constituents. It was a moving sight indeed to see the large number of persons from all classes of life who filed past his coffin to have a last look at their well-beloved representative. To his widow and children I offer my deepest sympathy.
I am sure that my constituents would like me at this time to pay tribute also to
Tributes to Deceased Members the memory of J. Ewen Matthews. Mr. Matthews was born in the constituency of Prince some eighty years ago, and spent the early part of his life in Prince Edward Island before leaving his native province to make his living elsewhere. It is interesting to recall that the late Mr. Douglas and the late Mr. Matthews were close friends. Some forty years ago in Charlottetown they worshipped God in the same church. Mr. Matthews was a fine Christian gentleman, and his mature judgment will be greatly missed by his friends and associates. My sympathy, and that of my constituents, is hereby conveyed to his widow and family.


Mr. J. A. Ross (Souris):: Mr. Speaker, while joining in the tributes paid to the late Mr. Douglas, as an old neighbour and friend of the late Mr. J. Ewen Matthews I should like to say how kindly tolerant and helpful I always found him, especially after I came to Ottawa. His interest in the welfare of his fellow men went away beyond all partisan affiliation. May I add my word of sympathy to Mrs. Matthews and the members of the family in the loss of a good husband and splendid father.


Mr. L. A. Mutch (Winnipeg South):: I presume, Mr. Speaker, that there are many people in the province of Manitoba who would bear witness to the statement that I wish to make, and it is this. Mr. Matthews held his fellow man in such esteem that if he could not speak well of any man he did not speak at all. His service to the province of Manitoba, where in these last years we knew him so well, matched his philosophy of life to such an extent that he will not soon be forgotten in that province.
As to Mr. Douglas, I had the pleasure of sharing a seat in the house with him during the last session. While he was here I met him on many occasions under intimate circumstances. As one who knew him well in this house, I am pleased to be associated with the tributes which have come from those who knew him best.


Mr.  W. Chester S. McLure@Queens: wish most sincerely to associate myself with the well-deserved tributes paid by the Prime Minister (Mr. St. Laurent), the Leader of the Opposition (Mr. Drew), and others, to the late J. Lester Douglas. No man in this house, and very few outside of it, knew Mr. Douglas as I did. I had fought him for fourteen years in the political field. I had known him a great many years before that, and I must say that I found him to be a real man and a most honourable opponent. Furthermore, he had perhaps the greatest way of forming friendships of any man I ever knew. He also had the way of holding the confidence of those friends.
758	HOUSE OF
Tributes to Deceased Members As one of the representatives of the dual constituency of Queens, I wish to say this. The late Mr. Douglas was one of the finest representatives that the constituency of Queens has had. He was always ready to do a good turn, for anyone, when it was within his power to do so. As a further tribute to him I may say that he was active in all things of great interest to the younger people in the constituency as well as in the province as a whole. To his wonderful wife, his daughter and his two sons, I, as many other members have done, have already extended sympathy; but I think it is well that the records of this house should show that the deepest sympathy is extended to the bereaved by members in all parts of the house.
In closing let me say again that Mr. Douglas was a real man. On an occasion of this kind it is difficult for me to speak as I should of such a friend as he was. I can only say that as a man, as a citizen of our province, and as a representative of the people, he was one who will be long remembered. He has gone to his eternal reward, and we shall all miss him.
I wish also to associate myself with the remarks which have been made about Mr. Matthews of Brandon. He was a Prince Edward Islander, and the people of his native province were proud of his success, not only in our own province but in western Canada as well.


Mr. J. H. Harris (Danforih):: Mr. Speaker, these events seem to recur every year, but I am unable to allow this occasion to go by without making reference to my good friend, Lester Douglas. I did business with him for thirty-five years; therefore I came to know him reasonably well. He was a man of the highest integrity, one whom it was a delight to meet. Like many others from Prince Edward Island, he was a big man, one who made you feel proud of Canadians. To his family I wish to extend the condolences of his friends in the province of Ontario.
Mr. Matthews was well known to me. In the desk in my office I have three letters which I treasure, signed by his own hand, in which he encouraged us younger men to continue with welfare work of one kind or another. When something was said in this chamber on behalf of our fellow men he never missed the opportunity to add his comment. That was something that I appreciated. He was a bighearted man, the kind who make our life here worth while.
If I may have the indulgence of the house, Mr. Speaker, I wish to make another observation. For a quarter of a century I sat in this chamber with one of the most honourable and grandest of men. He was not a candidate [Mr. McLure.l

in the last election, having had to retire on account of ill health. Within the last month we have lost him. I refer to the late Mark Senn. Mr. Senn was a philosopher, guide and friend; he was someone to whom you could appeal in this chamber when you were not quite sure of your ground. We loved him. I think of the tribute that was paid to him in his home town a few weeks ago when, on the occasion of his funeral, the sidewalks were crowded with over a thousand people. I came to the conclusion that such a life as his was really worth while, when so many persons came to pay their respects to one who did the best he could for his country. I should like to have permission from you, sir, to express to his dear widow and to his stalwart sons and charming daughters the sincere sympathy of this entire chamber on the loss they have sustained. Perhaps there is a special reason for my doing so; after long association with him I learned to have for him a regard, indeed an affection, which can be shared by few in the same degree. I was anxious, therefore, to take advantage of this opportunity to put on the records of this house some expression of the regard we had for him. I will not give you his record; you have it, sir; everyone has it. Everyone in the house loved him. He will be sorely missed.


Mr. Daniel Mclvor (Fori William):: Mr. Speaker, I should like to add my tribute to the three friends-two members and an ex-member of this house-who have been spoken of here. I remember Archdeacon Farrar saying that the older we grow, the more alone we grow. Some of us have come to the time in life when we know more friends who have crossed the line into the great beyond than we know here.
For over forty years I knew the former [DOT]member for Brandon, and when he became my deskmate I was greatly pleased. He was always helpful. As I knelt in worship, the knowledge that he had driven forty miles to attend the service was a great stimulus to me. He was always helpful when he sat beside me in the house.
The late member for Queens and I seemed to be kindred spirits. I was in his room in Ottawa regularly. But we know our friends best when we meet them in a game, and especially in a tight contest. He was an outstanding bowler. Just as he served in this house, he was -always steady; and he was just as well pleased when some of his mates were able to put it over him.
As I said, the older we get the more concerned we are, not with what a man says but with what he does. If he practises Chris-

tianity then there is no doubt of his future life. When I think of the apostle Paul speaking of the great cloud of witnesses I cannot but think that these three old friends belong now to that assemblage, because the cloud was not then completed. Somebody said, "It is not what we leave behind but what we give away that we take with us." These three friends have left behind such footprints that if we tread in them we shall rise to a higher and better service. [DOT]



THE MINISTRY


Louis Stephen St-Laurent: As is already well known, since the end of the last session the Hon. George Prudham has been appointed Minister of Mines and Technical Surveys. I now wish to table the order in council in respect of that appointment, which is dated December 13, 1950. I will not attempt to repeat here the welcome we of the cabinet extended to him when he joined our circle, but as a member of this house I think I would be speaking for all hon. members in extending to him best wishes in the discharge of his added responsibilities.
On January 24 Mr. W. M. Benidickson was appointed parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Transport; Mr. Jean Lesage parliamentary assistant to the Secretary of State for External Affairs; Mr. Leopold Langlois parliamentary assistant to the Postmaster General; Mr. E. A. McCusker parliamentary assistant to the Minister of National Health and Welfare; and Mr. Ralph Campney parliamentary assistant to the Minister of National Defence. Mr. Ralph Maybank, who was formerly parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Mines and Technical Surveys, has been appointed parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Resources and Development. I wish to table the orders in council relating thereto.



CONSTITUTIONAL CONFERENCE


Louis Stephen St-Laurent: I should like to table copies, in English and in French, of the proceedings of the constitutional conference between the federal and provincial governments of September 25 to September 28, 1950, and December 4 to December 7, 1950; also copies, in English and in French, of the further correspondence between the Prime Minister and the premiers of the provinces respecting those conferences.
Reports and Papers FIRES



RIMOUSKI AND CABANO


[Stage Direction]
Right Hon.	L.	S.	St. Laurent	(Prime
Minister): I should like to table, in English and in French, copies of the final reports on the fires in Rimouski and Cabano.


[Stage Direction]
Right Hon.	L.	S.	St. Laurent	(Prime
Minister): I wish to table two copies of orders in council passed under the provisions of the Public Service Rearrangement and Transfer of Duties Act, transferring:
1.	The control and supervision of the displays division	of	the	national film	board,
together with its duties, functions and equipment, from the Hon. Robert H. Winters to the exhibitions branch of the Department of Trade and Commerce;
2.	The function of the poster and publication unit of the national film board to the advertising division of the Department of Public Printing and Stationery.


Louis Stephen St-Laurent: Under the Regulations Act the
regulations to which they apply have to be tabled within fifteen days after they are published in the Canada Gazette if parliament is in session. If parliament is not in session they have to be tabled within fifteen days after the commencement of the next ensuing session. I table copies of the Canada Gazette (part II) containing the orders in council which appeared on January 10, January 24, and two extra issues of January 18, 1951. I also have for tabling the English version of the consolidated regulations. It consists of five volumes, in which -the regulations are arranged I think in proper order. They have been fully indexed for facilitating access to the matter in which any hon. member or any member of the public may be interested.
A suggestion was made that each year there should be a supplement to these regulations. After giving the matter careful consideration it has been thought that we should publish an index every three months with cross references to that portion of the regulations amended by any regulation brought into effect during that period. The index would be in the same form as the index to the statutes, which I think is very helpful. We hope that in this way we shall be doing something which will not only facilitate our own work

Prorogation of Parliament when we have to refer to these regulations, but will also facilitate ready reference to them by hon. members or by any member of the public.



PRIVILEGE


[Stage Direction]
Mr. Stanley Knowles (Winnipeg North
Centre): Mr. Speaker, on a question of privilege, may I take this opportunity to express to you and to many members of this house, including cabinet ministers and members of all parties, my warm appreciation of their messages of cheer and good will which reached me last month.
I shall forget as soon as I can the illness which prompted those messages, but I shall never forget the happy experience of receiving, not only from friends but also from political enemies, so many expressions of kindly concern. I am most grateful for them, and I am glad to be here again.

A message was delivered by Major C. R. Lamoureux, Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, as follows:
Mr. Speaker, the Right Honourable the Deputy Governor General desires the immediate attendance of this honourable house in the chamber of the honourable the Senate.
Accordingly, Mr. Speaker with the house went up to the Senate chamber.
The Deputy Governor General was pleased to close the third session of the twenty-first parliament of Canada with the following speech:
Honourable Members of the Senate:
Members of the House of Commons:
When the present session adjourned in September it was considered that the world situation might make it necessary to resume the session before the close of the year. As that did not happen, my ministers recommended, just before the beginning of the new year, that the special session be concluded and a regular session be commenced as early as circumstances would permit.
The measure to provide for the resumption of the operation of the railways which was enacted at the. opening of the special session resulted in the immediate termination of the strike. Failure to reach an accommodation between the parties to the dispute led to the appointment of an arbitrator, whose decision has settled the points remaining at issue, as provided for in the statute.
In response to the original reason for summoning the special session you approved a measure making provision for the placing of Canadian forces on active service in consequence of action undertaken by Canada under the United Nations charter or the North Atlantic treaty; and to provide for the application of veterans legislation to veterans of the special force.
You also passed bills respecting materials and services essential for the purposes of defence and internal security and respecting the temporary regulation of consumer credit.
Members of the House of Commons:
I thank you for the provision you made for additional defence expenditures and also for meeting our obligations under the United Nations charter and the North Atlantic treaty.
Honourable Members of the Senate:
Members of the House of Commons:
May Providence continue to bless and protect this nation.
